have you tried running revdep-rebuild from app-portage/gentoolkit crusader, what _Versions_ of xorg and xfree are you trying to install? All versions of xorg (and xfree >=4.3.99) provide shared libraries that don't exist in xfree-4.3.0. You'll need to rebuild anything depending on those shared libraries, perhaps with revdep-rebuild as Thomas suggested. The --soname argument may prove useful. If that doesn't work, just remerge applications as they fail. xfree-4.3.0-r6 xorg-x11-6.7.0-r1 I managed to run revdep-rebuild. It took me a night and half a day to recompile everything, but I did it (also considering that revdep-rebuild isn't exactly what's it called a bug-free app and it crashed 3 times - once in the middle of the night, d'ouh) Donnie: yes, that explains everything. I wish there was a solution so that this nightmare won't happen to other people, but whatever... |
